Thread: AT squad for OKW with gasmask = no new voice acting needed18 Mar 2016, 04:23 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2016, 03:56 AMSpinflight Gas masks were due to the toxic fumes, both from the backblast and the rear of the rocket. The fumes and backblast also meant they couldn't be used from buildings or have troops behind them when they fired. https://youtu.be/GPhTZItRkPg?t=6m48s In: Lobby
Thread: Stuka Dive Bomb18 Mar 2016, 01:26 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2016, 00:27 AMMistah_S When you agree that an Allied bombing run (RU/USF) is nerfed against a LeiFH, then I will agree to have this nerf Edit: Fkn lol, also fell for necro bait USF don't have bombing runs. Funnily enough though, the IL-2 PTAB Anti-Tank run is probably just what people want for howitzers to have a chance against airstrikes - it's a bit RNG, and will go from heavily-damaging a howitzer to decrewing with some health left on the gun itself, usually not completely killing the howitzer and preventing recrewing.

Thread: AT squad for OKW with gasmask = no new voice acting needed18 Mar 2016, 00:00 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2016, 23:55 PMNefer The reason for the gasmasks, is because not every soldier was in favor of the shield next to the panzerschreck and would just remove the shield and equip a gasmask to protect their face Thanks, I was wondering about that. Certainly seems like a lose-lose situation though. Either the shield blocks your view, or the gasmask does! In: Lobby

Thread: OKW needs a rework17 Mar 2016, 15:41 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2016, 10:10 AMPutinist Including cost for retreat point as part of normal tech makes as much sense as including reinforce trucks or forward assembly as tech. Only USF get a retreat point as part of teching. You did forget that each truck cost 100mp to deploy though, so it ends up at 900mp anyway . Which is way to cheap compared to the others(brits come close) and part of the problem. If you take into account the starting resources and value of starting units(what you get for free every game), and subtract it from cost for full tech, it ends up at ~250mp, compared to SU ~750, OST ~630, USF ~600 & UKF ~500 (not including bolster squads). The difference gets lower if any tiers or upgrades are skipped of course (i.e. t1 & molotovs), but that comes at the cost of diversity/utility. And OKW can arguably skip mech truck in the same way (very risky, map dependant and situational unless 2v2-4v4). I think OKW is pretty much fine fuel wise so any side upgrades should have their cost focused on mp, not fuel. A similar cost to medics as the other factions, as you mention, would be a good start. Flak Truck should have a cost as well (munitions probably), it's a low risk, highly performing cutoff guard at the very least, if one don't want to put it aggressively. Thanks, I was writing it out struggling to remember what it was now after trucks were built by yourself. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ideas on Bringing the UKF into Balance17 Mar 2016, 03:26 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Mar 2016, 02:29 AMFiresparks maxim teardown increased to 1 seconds from 0 second I'd think might be better to increase the Maxim's set-up time, maybe nerf traverse a bit too instead. It's important for it to be able to dodge rifle grenades, which I'm suspecting is a key reason why all the allied HMGS but the mostly-HMG42-clone Vickers move around so fast (and of course the part where it isn't a clone is where its suppression's worse so anyone using it that ever complains about it says it gets grenaded all the time...these players aren't getting the benefit of garrison VP camping with it, of course) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Double maxim spam.17 Mar 2016, 02:59 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2016, 21:25 PMDaciaJC Because to me, it doesn't make much sense that the HMG designed primarily to be a frontline combat unit (great offensively but poor as a defensive option) should somehow be the best MG when in a building, besides perhaps the Vickers. It's not a huge deal, and I don't mind if it stays like this, but I always saw it as a bit inconsistent. I thought that was weird meself for long, but I'm pretty it's because of the windows in buildings - some of the walls are pretty long, so in those buildings, Maxim's normal arc of fire would ensure there would be a lot of deadzones on those walls of those buildings that it'd have to keep setting up to hope to shoot at anything moving and pretty much make flanking it a trifle for its enemies, especially combined with how it has the same set-up time in buildings as other HMGs unlike a few years ago when it was one of the fastest. Thus, if they wanted to nerf the Maxim's building effectiveness, it would be far more better for its players to nerf its suppression, fire-rate, traverse, etc. while it's in a building than to make it a clunky piece of crap that can be flanked by monkeys in those buildings.

In terms of MP, pretty sure OKW's MP costs for total tech is less than everyone else and their healing (which everyone will get) comes with T1 explains it. 200 for each truck, 300 for retreat point = 900 MP. UKF, 180 for T1, 280 for T2, 200 for T3, 150 for each global upgrade = 1110 MP. USF, 200 for T1, 200 for T2, 240 for T3, 250 for Ambulance, 150 for each global upgrade = 1190 MP. SU, 160 MP for T1 and T2, 270 for T3, 240 for T4, 250 for medics, 125 for each grenade = 1330 MP. Wehr, 100 per BP, 80 for T1, 200 for T2, 260 for T3 and T4, 150 for medics = 1250 MP. Obviously, all the factions can opt to go without certain things (I don't know the last time I've ever seen a Mills Bomb being thrown, Wehr might be able to pull off T4 rush, LT's not a popular USF tier, and SU T1 is SU T1. ), but OKW dropping their upgrade probably also loses the least to their repertoire compared to the difficulty of getting by with unupgraded and smokeless Riflemen, grenadeless Scripts or no T3 for Wehr (no one really cares about Mills Bombs still though). And SU keeps up in MP bleed anyway when they just pin everyone else's infantry with Maxim spam In: COH2 Balance
Thread: M-42 vs other light AT.16 Mar 2016, 19:47 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2016, 19:26 PMStark leave mg42 alone, it's fine. #adapt Can't tell if sarcasm or legitimate misreading because you're not even sure what the M-42 AT gun is Jump back to quoted post16 Mar 2016, 19:33 PMAustralian Magic I thought it already uses AP rounds, I mean, it's AT gun, right? It needs buffs if it's doctrinal. But it would be superfine as a non doc T1/T0 unit. Yeah, I'd have explained it as precision shooting, or something. In: COH2 Balance
